Abstract
Description
CaHbOc+(2a−x−c)H2O=xCO+(a−x)CO2+(2a−x−c+b/2)H2
In this equation, a must be one or greater, b must be one, preferably two, preferably three or greater, and c can be zero or greater, in some embodiments zero to two. Preferred fuels include the alkanes (methane, ethane, propane, isobutane, etc), alcohols, formic acid, and dimethylether (DME). Formic acid and DME can be reformed under similar conditions as the low molecular weight alcohols.
